Abstract
The paper describes the traditional, ideal Apache family. It looks at their close ties to extended family and examines how the leader of a tribe would prevent disharmony in the group. The paper also looks at traditional Apache religion and how hunting was an integral part of the Apache's lifestyle.

From the Paper
"The Apache had many distinct branches, some in the south, west or east. However they shared many things in common when it came to their political and social organization. In the ideal Apache family there would be a husband and a wife. It was the husband's job to join the family of his wife. The couple would share their household with their unmarried children and the families of their married daughters. Due to this marriage arrangement, the wife was the member of the family who brought in extended members. Wives played an important role in the tribe's survival."

Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons for the popularity of Apache Ant for Java. It further discusses why this approach is easier and better noting that the Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java based Build Tool.

From the Paper
"The Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML-based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java-based Build Tool. There are other ways that some of the same tasks can be achieved, and many consider Ant to be a better tool that other scripting approaches such as Batch scripting. An examination of the Ant system can show why Ant is better than others and also expose any disadvantages that Ant might have compared to other methods."

Abstract
This paper examines the history and folklore behind the creation story of the Chiricahua Apache. The creation story is presented to the reader, and is referenced throughout the paper. The history of the Apache is discussed, including where and how they lived, their connection to the land and how the creation story would influence their day-to-day decisions. According to this paper, their religion was central to all aspects of their lives, their behavior and means of survival. Their interaction with the white population, whether violent, or friendly, can all be traced back to their belief in their own creation story.

From the Paper
"By the beginning of the 17th century the Chiricahua Apache had achieved, from what can be determined from the archaeological record, a relatively settled way of life. They grew corn as well as other crops such as beans although there were certainly still semi-nomadic groups. Their joint dependence on agriculture and nomadic food collection and herding may have been due to the sporadic nature of rainfall in the Southwest. Nomadicism is a rational response during a year in which there is not enough rainfall."

Closing information

From the Paper
"Well, Honeycutt got what he wanted. The C Company found fourteen enemy bodies lying around. So again, the morning started with the Americans striking the enemy with bombing, air strikes, and ceaseless artillery. Honeycutt however made the C Company cease fire. Honeycutt told Sanders to stop finding an avenue to the top of the mountain, realizing that D Company's three brutal days in the ravine was enough. Instead he planned his fight on the mountain with A Company in the lead. The 1/506th was supporting the A Company. But the 1/506th was in trouble. The enemy of course prevented the 1/506th from getting to the mountain to help get the attack started. Because he didn't have 1506th help he called off the attack. He was frustrated. This might even begin the ending of the battle."

Abstract
The paper sheds light on the motivations and reasoning behind Geronimo's dedication to the path of war by describing Geronimo's early life and the injustice done to his people and his own family by the Mexican troops and the white men. The paper describes the many battles he fought and the years of struggle with white men. The paper concludes that although is depicted as a savage, one must not forget that Geronimo was a great leader and a great warrior who prolonged the life of his Apache.

From the Paper
"To understand Geronimo's motivation, one must look at his early life. Born into the Bedonkohe band of the Apache Indian tribe, Geronimo was raised on Apache traditions. At the age of 17, he married his first wife, Alope, with whom he would have three children. In 1858, Geronimo and his tribe ventured to Old Mexico for trading. Confident that they would not be attacked, the warriors left their women and children at the camp to go into the town of Kaskiyeh and trade. While there, the tribe's camp was attacked by a Mexican troop on a hunting trip, and Geronimo's wife, three children, and mother were killed."

Abstract
This paper looks at the cultural, moral and historical importance of place names in Western Apache society, based on the studies by Keith Basso in his book "Wisdom Sits in Places". The paper discusses the morality tales inherent in each named location and the significance of the land on the morality of the people, and the ways in which the society maintains order and accountability.

From the Paper
"In his book Wisdom Sits in Places, Keith Basso examines the role of Apache placename stories in the community of Cibecue, Arizona. Place names and the stories directly associated with them are extremely important to Apache culture in a number of ways. Not only do they contain the entire history of the Apache people, the phases of their traveling to the land, settling in, and the important events that took place later, but their primary function is to serve as reminders of appropriate behavior and the morality of the culture to anyone who may be breaking those codes of conduct (Basso 50). The placenames form a historical and geographical narrative as well as a moral code couched in the metaphors of hunting, wounding and healing. In a historical context, placename stories are handed down from generation to generation, fixing the events of a story inextricably from the location where the story took place."

From the Paper
"The Hopi and the Apache, two Indian tribes of the American Southwest, have very different views on death and dying. The Hopi believe there is a close reciprocal relationship between the living and the dead. This reciprocity is expressed in their ceremonies, as well as in their agricultural activities. They believe that death leads to rebirth (Thompson & Joseph, 1965, p. 42). In contrast, the Apaches believe that death is a terrifying thing. Being visited by ghosts of the dead is one of their great fears, so they move their settlements away from their dead (Baldwin, 1965, p. 96).
Implicit in the Hopi configuration of culture is an integrated theory of the universe by which the Hopi attempt to organize their world in order to cope with their life problems and obtain some degree of security in a highly hazardous (...)"

Abstract
This paper compares two books, one about Mexican American women and the other about Apache men, in their treatments of race, gender, landscape, family and ethnography.

From the Paper
"The auteur theory developed by French film critics beginning in the 1950s is partly a convenient way of categorizing and analyzing films, collecting titles as the body of work of the director. More than this, though, the theory holds that it is the director more than anyone else who is responsible for the completed film, since he or she is the one who determines visual style and other matters in the course of production. The theory finds that the director expresses meaning through visual style and that analyzing the visual style of a given director reveals consistent thematic concerns, similarities in character development, and other repeated and recognizable signs of a single intelligence at work. At the same time, though, film remains a collaborative medium, and it would seem that directors would be influenced by their..."
